Girl power stormed Gordon’s this week with pink-apron clad students taking to the stage to tell the true story of the Ford sewing machinists of the 1960s who brought the Dagenham factory and workforce of 55,000, to a standstill and paved the way for the Equal Pay Act of 1970. Gritty and compelling, Made in Dagenham, performed to capacity audiences over three nights, was also humorous and touching and demonstrated the exceptional ability of those singing, acting and dancing. Many of the production team were also students.
